Dear Grace and Family/Friends Thank you for your kind review we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! See you again!
The location is exceptional. Right on the water, with amazing views.
Outside furniture was dirty and full of spiders, so we spent our time indoors. House was tidy, but a little bit dusty. No cleaning materials to do a proper clean.Location made it well worth it.

Just what we were looking for and so happy we chose Rio Vista for our R&R. Wonderful water views and just a few footsteps to the front yard. So easy to walk to the shops, wonderful walking paths, and water views. We will be back.....because we are missing our new favourite breakfast from the Burrum Heads Bakery.....a pie and hot beverage each morning.

Reviewer Comments:
We recently stayed here and it is a great position. The cleaning could be improved and the linen needs upgrading. There were no extra blankets for the 2nd bedroom. The yard needs general maintenance and pruning and the trees overhanging the clothes line should be removed to maximise the sunshine. Very hard to dry clothes in winter with no sun on them.

We are regular visitors to Burrum Heads and this was the first time we stayed in Rio Vista. The house was very comfortable, especially the bed and the large windows made it feel like you were part of the outdoors. Elders are as helpful as always with great customer service.

On arrival and entry to the property we were greeted with a very untidy back yard. Half a roll of toilet paper and one rubbish bin liner was not enough for 4 persons for a weeks stay.
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 10, 2020
Dear Maurie Thank you for your feedback and we apologise that you experienced this... We take this seriously and are putting additional procedures in place to ensure that this does not happen again. We do endeavour to provide a "starter pack" however the rest of the utilities are the Guest's responsibility:-)

Only place I would keep coming back to. Riverfront position with great views with esplanade walking path. Also see stunning sunsets when conditions are right. House comfortable and nicely set out but only limited to the number of persons it can accommodate.

Location and view
Fourth year of rental for two weeks. It would be difficult to beat the views of the Burrum River from inside and outside of Rio Vista. Good fishing from the river bank in front of the house, even better upstream in a boat. The mango tree mentioned elsewhere has had a major trim, along with improved landscaping of yard.

Great location
Been coming for years and love location. Unfortunely state of yard and mango tree with fruit bats is a drawback and needs to be addressed. Would highly recommend if rectified.

Great riverfront Location!
We love Rio Vista. The best views of the Burrum River you will find! Close to the boat ramp for fishing, the Lions Park for swimming, and just a short walk to the shops. A few things are getting dated with the furnishings...but easily overlooked, when you consider the location.

two weeks at Rio Vista
Booked this accommodation through research on the internet and the Accommodation Guide published by Elders - Burrum Heads
Highlight was the position - right by the water - large rooms - well furnished and amenities good standard
